Car tuned and dynod by Simon Scuffham at TDI Dartford, last dyno 334 bhp at the wheels
Car is full road legal but best suited for track work. I raced the car mainly at Castle Combe in the Gt series from 2006 - 2010 in which year it won the championship outright with 2 previous championship runner ups and 4 championship class wins. It has been very reliable with only a couple of minor race induced breakdowns
Car is in need of some tlc but it is great car and will be sorely missed if I decide to sell.
Paintwork is very stone chipped on front section and their are marks around the car but for track work I don’t think it’s worth bothering with. Realistically, car could do with a good check over (joints,bushes etc) and a good clean but saying that I would have no hesitation on taking it out on track as it is.
FYI - The heater and air on have been remove. It does have a heated windscreen. Race weight with fuel and Leggaro wheels/slicks is about 780kg, in road spec about 800kg
